A Marine Technician Navigates Many Facets of Working on the Water
Joee Patterson is one of those rare people who have an exotic, exciting background for her zoom calls that she took herself, in the flesh.
She's a capable tall ship sailor with plenty of practical experience working on and around wooden boats, and she's recently been working on her scuba skills, but in this episode she focuses on the work she's done as a marine technician in Antarctica. If that sounds like a diverse portfolio of maritime jobs, hold on to your red beanie.
She chats about her particular love for Adelie penguins, her need for meaningful and adventurous work, and we get an account of what it's like to take a scientific diving class at the college level.
